I’m Addicted to Top Gear
Friday, April 11th, 2008
Since I haven’t had any programs to download thanks to the writers strike… I have downloaded the entire Top Gear series. Well, so far I’m up to downloading the fourth season, and have watched to near the end of the third season so far. I just can’t get enough of it.
I am an addict. I guess the first steps to recovery is admitting it. But seriously though, it is an absolute top show. I did find it interesting in the first season how the audience was only a handful of people, and there was a focus on actually bringing useful information for people that might want to buy a vehicle. Then by the third season they have almost forgotten about normal every day cars, and have started realising the entertainment in pointless tests and races. Which is awesome!
For anyone that hasn’t seen Top Gear, do yourself a favour and switch it on when the new season starts later this year. You don’t have to be a car buff to enjoy it. It is entertainment more so than journalism. You don’t need to know anything about cars at all really. It’s just brilliant!
I must say that I am quite jealous that my namesake from Wales has watched Top Gear on set. I even saw him (well, after an eagle-eyed search) in the audience! Bastard!
Just a short post I’m posting from my phone really to pass the time whilst I wait in line here at Centrelink. Seriously though, you would think they would put more staff on, because there is ALWAYS a line, and it ALWAYS takes forever. I have managed to live without the financial assistance from the Government for over a year now, but with my living situation changing recently, and the sent going up, I can’t go without any longer. Bah! I have waited for a good 20 minutes, just standing here.
